THE refusal of the clerk of the New
York superior court to accept Herr
Most's preliminary declaration of In.
tention to become a citizen OF the
United States has served to call gen
eral attention to the fact that there il
a law of congress which provides that
before a man is admitted to citizen.
ship in this country he shall have re-
sided here at least five years, and
"shall have behaved as a man of good
moral character, attached to the prin
ciples of the United States, and vel
disposed to the good order and hap
piness of the same" The rigid en-
forcement of these provisions by al
officers having duties connected with
the process of naturalization is desir.
able for evident and forcible reasons.

REPORT.

THE undersigned committee appointed
in the Colonial Councils meeting of the
21st of last month to revise and report ON
the Draft of Budget for the Municipality of
st. Croix for the financial year from 1st
April 1887 to 31st March 1888 presents the
following report !:
I. REVENUES.
Gd B. 2. Export duty. The Committee
believes that the export duty, which is
posted at $32, 400, namely according to q
calculated crop of Is 900 hhds. of sugar
with II propOrtiOnate quantity of rum and
mOlasses, has been estimated somewhat
too high, since the crop, according to pre-
sent prospects, will hardly reach 10000
hhds of sugar.
II. EXPENSES.
AS the several money bills agree i'll oil
essentials with what was granted on the
Budgets Ofthe last years, theCOmmittee has
only IL few remarks to bring forward.
ed Money Bill VI. The Custom Depart
ment. Member of Committee Raphael
suggests to the Government whether the
two nightguards in each Of the towns
could not be replaced by a sentinel
on the wharf in each town, aud the amount
of S76S.O0 l.. a. for n~ightguards be thereby
saved.
ad Money Bill VII. The Post Depart
meliT. MemDor OF COmmltC60 hdIudel
proposes to the Government that the con.
veyance of the mails between the towns
of Christiansted and Fredcriksted he alter
ed to what was the case formerly, when it
was done by the military, whereby the
expenses would be reduced.
The same Member thinks, in any case
that the present conveyance of the mails
between the two towns should again be pus
III to public licitatiOn.
The other Members think that regard to
the advantage of the public requires that
the present arrangement should be cDntinu-
ed, but also that the whole appliances
should be kept in better order than is now
the case, which last point Member Raphael
accedes to.
ad Money BIZ XVII. Expenses for
Building and other uncertain expenses
Several Members think that the esti-
mates for building repairs, for not q few
of the items, are too high, especially for
embarrassing.
With the above remarks the whole
Committee recommends all the Money
Bills and the Draft of Budget itself to the
acceptance of the Colonial Council.

There was, as an attache later informed
me, an uneXceptionable assemblage Of
players at our table that evening. Oppc-
site to where sat was a cadayerous look

her eagerly to clutch at the stakes when
ever she was fortunate enough TO win.
The revolving expression Of her face, If at
that moment caught and faithfully trans

present appeared to attract more than
ordinary attention. Tall. well proportioned
and with a frank, open countenance, he
seemed TO have entered the game with the
sole purpose of winning the entire capital
held by the croupier. The latter regarded
him with evident uneasiness as he coolly
proceeded to double all bets and invariably
win. At length he staked :. 900 francs on
the turn, and with cynical smile arose,
having performed what is regarded as the
extraordinary feat of breaking the bank,
after which all play was suspended at that
particular table.
Gamblers are, perhaps, the most super
stitious Of any other class Of people, none
being more SO than the roulette dealers at

When was travelling in Germany
learned that there was a superstition in
regard 10 the fOrtieth year OF each century
that was held by all Prusssns and that
has its foundation in the history of the
empire. The furtieth year of each century
is regarded by them as marking the begin
ming of new era, and in substantiation
of their belief they go back TO the fifteenth
century Frederick HohenZollern was a
simple burgrave of Nuremberg, who rose
to Il great distinction and acquired large
wealth. In the early part Of the fifteenth
century the old electoral house of Bran
denburg died out and the right to name a
successor fell to the emperor Of Germany.
Frederick Hohenzoliern bought the title,
but the nobility opposed his purchase, and,
after the fashion of those days, some hot
fighting ensued which resulted in a decis-
i've victory for Frederick in the year l4i0.
This is considered the beginning of the
political and military power Of the house
of Hohenzollern. In l540 the elector OF
Brandenburg embraced the Protestant
religion In 1910 the great elector, as he
was called ascended the throne, and by
skillful diplomacy and power of arms
acquired the kingdom Of Prussia, which
he added TO Brandenburg, thus doubling
and trcbling the strength Of his prin'
cipality. In 1140 Frederick the Great
ascended the throne, and in 1910 Freder
ick William " ascended the throne, and
was succeeded by his brother, the present
emperor During Frederick William
Tvs reign began the movement which

TEACHING JACK A TRICK.
The Story Of an Amiabie but stubborn
Irish Setter-Nictory at Last.

/ heard dog story the other day that
should serve as a text ia a reformatory
school. or. 10 bring il nearer home, TO
some people as an argument in favor OF
educational discipline. The hero Of this
tale is an .iSh setter. amiable enough, but
stubborn. and trained only Ia be good. He
never showed any special talent, save 10
keep house and live up To his canine in
stincts Of barking vt seedy looking stran-
gers and eVincing a proper affection for
the family whom he hon0red with his
maintenance. Not very long since
young relative Of this family undertook
To teach Jack trick he was told the
dog WAS too stubborn Ia learn ANYTHING
II WAS useless wasting time over him. but
the more objection thrown in his way the
more the young man persisted for he said
II was time Jack knew sonnet hing. and he
had just taught his own dog several anus
ing tricks which Jack must and should
acquire forthwith. WhereupOp he called
Jack into the dining room, shut the door
and began his task OF making the creature
sit up and give his paw
In itself nothing could be more simple
IL Is the very kindergarten of canine Cul-
ture, but Jack didn't see il in that light.
He would not sit up nor would he give
his paw Over and over again. with the
greatest patience, was the instruction
given, while Jack, in the most idiotic
way. refused 10 hear what was told him
After two hours labor the poor dogs
K d mistress begged that he might be ex-
used. Mo- WAS the stern answer
I've begun and must so on now or the
dog will be ruined" Finally owing to
the lateneSs of the hour, the disciplinarian
led Jack into the cellar. where the house
hold would not be disturbed, and then re-
newed the contest with little more
severity As the clock struck IL the
brute seemed TO get it through his pate
that unless he obeyed like gentleman he
would have TO stay there all night. So
he sat up and fiopped tawny paw just
once! This was enough, the fight WIS
over and the victor rushed away to take
the last car home.
Jack never told any one of that nights
experience; perhaps no one thought to
ask him about 1t, or if he would kindly
exercise his dearly acquired accomplish
ments. At all events, weeks passed away
ere his new master and conqUeror came
again to the house. One night Jack heard
the voice at the front door. and with the
impetuosity peculiar TO his race he threw
himself headlong against the visitor, and
then, suddenly withdrawing, sat down on
his launches and held up n paw The
victory had been complete, and Jack had
remembered his lesson.-Boston Herald

"AOONlS" DIXeY AND PATTI.

Mr. Henry f. Dixey is the owner of a
ST. Bernard dog that weighs perhaps 300
pounds, and, after the fashion of the lamb
that was platnnically attached TO Mary,
this dog accompanies Mr.. DiNey wherever
Mr.. DiNey goes. Twice across the ocean
and all over this continent makes Prince
the most extensive traveller of the canine
kind. NJ. DiXey and his leviathan dog
We're having a romp through the fonr or five
rooms occupied by the Clan DiXey at the
Hotel RChelieu. First Mr.. DiXey would
shut the dog up in the folding bed and
hide himself in the wardrobe; then the
dog would break away from the folding
bed and begin hunt for DiXey, humor-
ously tipping over tables and chairs, as
humorously breaking the crOckery, and
still more humorously accompanying his
labors with volcanic vocal eruptiOns eN-
pressive of fear, hope, anticipation, JOY,
etc. This play lasted for about an hour,
Mrs. DiXey sitting in the front room mean
while smiling contentedly and thinking 10
herself how much better II was for Henry
10 be passing quiet afternoon at hoIns
than TO be frittering away his time in the
company of frivolous men about town.
But Nine Patti. whose apartments at the
hlCntlltu lTt ltNlttt ulTctllN uItitI tNc

for while Mr.. DiNey and his dog were in
the midst Of their genial sport-Or, we

looking like one of the Two Orphans, "
presented this message: Mime. y Patu

Mr. DiNey was highly indis,nant; he did
not care 50 much for himself. but the in
suit To the dog was one that he could
scarcely brook. Next MOI ming, as he lay
in his bed. he became cogrlizant Of an an
gelic voice soaring i'll sOng-a voice SO
heavenly that il stayed pot i'll the porches
of his ear but penetrated to the innermost
recesses of Mr. Dixey's very soul and

wife, who was sewing in an adjoining
room.
What is it. Henry" she answered.
.'You're in unusually good voice this
morning. my dear. said Mr.. Diyey. Il
don't know when I've heard you sing so
pleasantly.
''Why. Henry" exclaimed Mrs. DiXey,
'.Tve not been singing; that was Nine.
Patti you heard-she is practicing Proch's
variations. and isn't it just too lOvely!'
But there was cold meaningless gilt

GULLIBIuITY.

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries
of a worthless humbug can make money by
imposing upon the credulity and Ignorance
of an honest public. and the supply of this
species of work seems more than an ade-
quate demand. The enunciation of facts
facts that have stood crucial tests-facts
proven by brain force and tangible evil
dence, should satisfy all laudable enter
prises; but the execrable practice of teach
ing false ideas and doctrines for self-aggran-
dizement is truly reprehensihle and should
be scorned by all classes.
When one house tells you that Eodide OF
Potash is poison simply because their OPP
ponents use it, and because they are pan
dering to your ignorance, as they suppose,
you should look upon all such As arrani
frauds and their remedies As unworthy
public confidence, and if those who MAKE
such assertions do not know better, they
are a set of unenviable ignoramuSes.
